Both of them match the same dates:

THE BIBLICAL CALENDAR IS NOT 365 DAYS IN LENGTH
A year in the Hebrew calendar can be 353, 354, 355, or 384 days long. The length of a year depends on the type of year and whether it's a common or leap year.

 

The Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar based on a 365-day common year divided into 12 months of different lengths.

 

Even we Jehovah’s Witnesses, when calculating prophecy, do not use 365 days in a year, but 360 days for each prophetic year.

 

So the dates will not match if you use different calendars, rather Gregorian Pope calendar.

While it is true that 1914 and 2026 share the exact same calendar dates/days - so do these other years

 

1903, 1914, 1925, 1931, 1942, 1953, 1959, 1970, 1981, 1987, 1998, 2009, and 2015

Your Gregorian Calendar

 

 

 

 When we look at our calendar, it is not a basic calendar. It is a Gregorian Calendar. How did it become this way? Here comes your headache.

 

 Before Gregorian Calendar was used, people in Rome used Julian Calendar. It began in the 46 BCE. The first day of the year was January 1. Before this, according to Roman calendar had March 1 as first day of the year. I might add, other calendars in different locations before Roman calendar had March or April as beginning of the year for agricultural reasons.

 

 If you think this is brain twisting, later in time the first day of the year was changed to March 25. It started in 1155 AD and lasted 427 years to 1582 AD, but in Britain and Colonel America, it lasted 597 years to 1752 AD.

 

 Why March 25,1155 AD? It was called the Annunciation Day, or Lady Day. People back then believe that an angel name Gabriel appear to Mary (Jesus’ mother) 25th day of March and announce her pregnancy. Nine months later on December 25, Mary gave birth to Jesus. This dating system along with Julian Calendar was not accurate and it need correction.

 

  Eventually a German mathematician Christopher Clavius, did the calculating and when it was a done in 1582, Pope Gregory Xlll put a Papal Bull or a seal on this. So, the month of October of 1582, 11 days was taken away in order to get the timing right. I could be a day off on this, but can you imagine one day it was October 4, 1582 and the next day it was October 15, 1582? 

 

  Why 11 days difference? I try to make it easy. In 46 BCE Julius Caesar changed the Roman calendar from a lunar to a solar year. Julius had a Greek astronomer Sosigenes to do the calculation. Eventually, it was realized his calculation was 11 minutes and 14 seconds off. When the correction was done, we have the Gregorian Calendar. But this is not the whole story.

 

 Britain did not adopt this change of dating until September of 1752.  I could be a day off on this. One day September 2, 1752, and the next day was September 14, 1752. Not all countries adopt this change of dating system until 20th century.

 

 Let us go back and figure this out. Regarding the March 25 being the first day of the year. If you were married on September 12, 1580, but you can die on March 8, 1580. Why? Don’t forget, the first day of the year was March 25, 1580.

 

I could be a day off on this. Let say in England, a woman was going to give birth to twins around midnight of September 2, 1752. She gave birth to one twin just before midnight on September 2, 1752. If she gave birth to other twin just after midnight then it will be September 14, 1752! Don't forget, 11 days were taken away to adjust the calendar. Can you image being 11 days older than your twin sister or brother?

 

To top it off, if I’m right, the Gregorian calendar year differs 26 seconds from Solar year. If you add 26 seconds every day for 3,323 years, a day would be added and this would land on the year 4905 (if you add 3,323 years from the year 1582).

 

 What is odd and if I’m right, if year 4904 is a leap year and if you have to add a day in the year of 4905, then you might have 2 leap years in a row. Be there to find out.

Why do we use 360 days instead of 365 days to calculate the “seven times” that led to 1914?

Because the Bible itself indicates a 360-day prophetic year.

For example:

Revelation 11:2, 3 says that “forty-two months” equals “1,260 days.”

Revelation 12:6, 14 refers to the same period of 1,260 days as “a time, times, and half a time.”

Calculation:
If 1,260 days are divided by 42 months, the result is 30 days per month.

So 12 months × 30 days = 360 days in a prophetic year.

 

Another calculation:
If “a time, times, and half a time” (3½ times) equals 1,260 days, then:

• 3.5 times = 1,260 days

• 1 time = 360 days

Therefore:

• 7 times × 360 days = 2,520 days

Using the day-for-a-year principle, these 2,520 days represent 2,520 years, which leads to 1914.

A very simple reason we do not use the Gregorian Calander for Bible prophesy is that, at the time Bible prophesy was written, the Gregorian Calander did not exist. It was not used at all prior to October 1582 when it was introduced to correct the Julian calendar's 11-minute annual drift.

Wait . . . 

I was trying to share something and it all fell apart. If I can get my act back together, it'll show up in a later post.

The Insight on the Scriptures article “Calendar” explains the structure of the Hebrew calendar — including common years, leap years, and the adjustment of certain months. It does not list the possible year lengths directly, but when the rules described there are worked out, they result in six possible Hebrew calendar year lengths: 353, 354, 355, 383, 384, and 385 days.

 

The math is simple once the rules are laid side by side.

 

A common year has 12 months. A leap year has 13 months because an extra Adar is added.

 

The article explains that two months can vary:
Heshvan can have 29 or 30 days, and Kislev can have 29 or 30 days.

 

So that gives three possible totals for a common year:
353, 354, or 355 days

 

Then add the extra month in a leap year, which is 30 days:
383, 384, or 385 days

 

So the six possible Hebrew calendar year lengths are:
353, 354, 355, 383, 384, and 385 days.

But I was never good with math, so I probably misunderstood.
